Seiser Alm

I set out to ride though the Seiser Alm (Alpe de Suisi), a high Alpine plateau. Though it started cloudy, the sky soon cleared up. Finally a sunny day to enjoy a day up in the Dolomites.

The Alpine meadows undulated in shades of bright green, dotted with a million dandelions dancing yellow in the sun. Then the Dolomitic massifs would suddenly appear, robbing my breath away. The limestone spires and needles and walls gleamed in the sunlight, not letting me focus on the path. Stunning scenery!

The ride was all gravel and rough, but Schopper crunched through the track. He was born for this grit!

After a wonderful dinner of Schlutzkrapfen and other Tyrolienne delights, I sat with Werner and Heidi looking through their incredible photos. His artwork delights in the shadows and contrasts of the lands in the snow.

What a great way to celebrate day 100 of our trip!Read more
